Standing Quad and Hip Flexor Stretch
September is here! This month’s WOW’s will focus on stretching out the hip flexors. The hip flexors are a group of muscles that bring your thigh towards your stomach. These muscles have the tendency to become weak and tight if you sit or have poor posture.
Regular practice of stretching and strengthening the hip flexors will improve posture, core strength, and decrease hip pain.
Exercise: Standing quad and hip flexor stretch.
How to perform: Stand up tall and pull on your left foot while pushing the left knee down. Maintain upright posture and use a chair for support as needed. This stretch opens your quadriceps and hip flexors.
Duration: Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on both sides.
Duration: Repeat for 12 repetitions and perform multiple times throughout the day.
